It appears that the human genome does indeed contain deserts, or large, gene-poor regions.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Genes are natural resources.
The Human Genome Project has given us a genetic parts list.
We imbue deserts and the tundra with menace because nothing, or little, grows there.
We need 10,000 genomes, not 100, to start to understand the link between genetics, disease and wellness.
Living in your genome is the history of our species.
The fact is that proprietary databases don't work for such basic and broadly needed information as the sequence of the human genome.
The desert is natural; when you are out there, you can get in tune with your environment, something you lose when you live in the city.
People think genes are an absolute cause of traits. But the notion that the genome is the blueprint for humanity is a very bad metaphor. If you think we're hard-wired and deterministic, there should indeed be a lot more genes.
The mouse genome is an invaluable tool to interpret the human genome.
Sadly, it's much easier to create a desert than a forest.
